It's good to have goals

Around Christmastime at work, we were herded into a room to write our 101 life goals based on the theory that if you actually document what you want to accomplish, you're more likely to get it done. I got to about 60 and they're pretty good. I've been able to cross one off - see a Madonna concert - and I'm about to cross off another: live in a different country.

So here's the Australian list: (in no particular order)

Surf well. Not just flail and settle for just being able to stand up.

Ski in NZ or AUS.

Buy a hot little convertible.

Visit Nonna.

Trip to Adelaide & Barossa Valley.

Christmas on the beach.

Find new favorite shops, beauty products, cool neighborhoods. This will be the funnest!

Live in an apartment with a view and hopefully a pool.

Feel like I'm really 'at home' aformentioned apartment.

Live near a park or seawall so I can find a good walking route.

Find a new fave cheap Chinese noodle house.

Figure out how to get Tivo working in Sydney.

Go to the movies at a La Premiere theatre. (Just to see if it's worth it.)

Find a way to turn Craig into a food and wine lover. There's so much food and wine to explore.

Work somewhere fun with people I really like. (Like I do now)

Trip to Asia.

Trip to the Whitsundays.

Watch a game of cricket, Aussie rules, rugby. (I have no idea how any of these games work.)

Make a plan for networking to maintain contacts here and build new ones there.

Be in Sydney harbour for New Years Eve fireworks.

Join some kind of group or class.

Take tons of pictures to put on flickr.

Get a sweet new mobile phone.

Be a member of the Powerhouse Museum.

Go to some Sydney Design Festival events.

Go to the Australian Open.

There's a lot on here and it's a pretty healthy start...
